If your blood sample has already been collected, no new sample is necessary. A blood sample does provide researchers with valuable information, but it only paints a partial picture. Even if you already submitted a blood sample, completing Quarterly and Attack Event reports on a regular basis is key to providing critical information to researchers that is needed to conduct HAE studies.

The Advance HAE Scientific Registry is a confidential database created to obtain uniform, long-term, complete, and accurate information about how you live with HAE. That means we collect one small blood sample as well as quarterly written reports on an ongoing basis directly from people with HAE and their blood relatives. The Registry conceals your information so that your participation is confidential and anonymous. Finally, we organize and make all the anonymous data available to researchers interested in studying HAE.

When you first register, we’ll provide you with a Past Medical History and General Medical History form, which must only be completed once. These provide the basic information for understanding your experience with HAE. We issue a quarterly report once every 3 months. Submitting these reports is integral to gaining a complete picture of your life with HAE. Whether or not you experience an attack in a given quarter, we ask that you access an Attack Event Report on the portal so we can keep track of your condition.

Scientific Registry members must be diagnosed with HAE or be a blood relative of someone who has HAE in order to participate.

Absolutely. If you have a blood relative with HAE, you are eligible to participate in the Scientific Registry.

Research findings can be found in peer-reviewed medical journals as they are published.
